It was great for getting rid of tail-gaitors. While cruising along, turn the ignition off but leave the clutch engaged. Pump the gas pedal a few times to run some fuel through into the exhaust system, and turn the key back to on. The tongue of flame that shoots out the rear must be seen to really be enjoyed. The tail-gaitors sure did drop back fast. The exhaust system dropped off pretty fast too (only lasted a couple of years, mostly due to road salt). And to think that this method has it's own news group... -- Dave Rosik ...!ihnp4!ihuxr!dlr
